Help people decide when to use a fire extinguisher

Source:未知Author:adminAddtime:2019-04-17Click:

Fire extinguishers can be helpful on a small fire. Consider providing a checklist to help people prepare to use a fire extinguisher on a potential fire.

For example:. Have I alerted others in the building that there’s a fire?. Has someone called the fire department?. Am I physically able to use a fire extinguisher?. Is the fire small and contained in a single object (like a pan or a wastebasket)?. Am I safe from the fire’s toxic smoke?. Do I have a clear escape route?

Use a fire extinguisher when all of these questions are answered “yes.” If you’re unsure about whether or not it’s safe to use a fire extinguisher, and for all other situations, alert others, leave the building, and call 911 from a mobile or neighbor’s phone. It is not recommended that children use fire extinguishers.
